+/// Puts the current thread to sleep until the specified deadline has passed.
+///
+/// The thread may still be asleep after the deadline specified due to
+/// scheduling specifics or platform-dependent functionality. It will never
+/// wake before.
+///
+/// This function is blocking, and should not be used in `async` functions.
+///
+/// # Platform-specific behavior
+///
+/// This function uses [`sleep`] internally, see its platform-specific behaviour.
+///
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// A simple game loop that limits the game to 60 frames per second.
+///
+/// ```no_run
+/// #![feature(thread_sleep_until)]
+/// # use std::time::{Duration, Instant};
+/// # use std::thread;
+/// #
+/// # fn update() {}
+/// # fn render() {}
+/// #
+/// let max_fps = 60.0;
+/// let frame_time = Duration::from_secs_f32(1.0/max_fps);
+/// let mut next_frame = Instant::now();
+/// loop {
+///     thread::sleep_until(next_frame);
+///     next_frame += frame_time;
+///     update();
+///     render();
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// A slow api we must not call too fast and which takes a few
+/// tries before succeeding. By using `sleep_until` the time the
+/// api call takes does not influence when we retry or when we give up
+///
+/// ```no_run
+/// #![feature(thread_sleep_until)]
+/// # use std::time::{Duration, Instant};
